Warning
Do not operate the lamp in close proximity to paper, cloth or 
other combustible material, nor cover it with such materials, even 
immediately after it is turned off. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
As the lamp is filled with high pressure xenon gas, do not hit the 
lamp against anything, apply excessive stress or scratch the lamp. 
Otherwise it could cause an injury if it bursts.
The lamp must be operated in a splinter-scatter-proof lamp 
house. Do not open the lamp house while the lamp is operating or 
immediately after it is turned off. Otherwise it could cause an injury 
if it bursts.
Do not touch the lamp while it is operating or immediately after it 
is turned off because it is extremely hot. Otherwise it could cause 
a burn.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable 
substance, such as gasoline, spray containing volatiles, thinner, 
lacquer or dust. Otherwise it could cause a fire or an explosion.
As the lamp is filled with high pressure xenon gas, it must be kept in 
the provided protective case when transporting, storage or disposal. 
Otherwise it could cause an injury, if it bursts.
The lamp that has been used for the rated service life is more likely 
to break and burst because of the deteriorated glass condition. 
Therefore, follow the instructions in this leaflet for replacement and 
disposal of the used lamp. Otherwise it could cause injury if it bursts.
Wear a protective mask, protective gloves and a thick long-sleeved 
shirt, when the lamp is handled or installed and removed to/from 
the lamp house.
The protective mask which covers the carotid, must be made with 
thicker than 2mm polycarbonate or another material with same 
strength or more.
Gloves and a thick long-sleeved shirt must be made with ripping-
proof and piercing-proof material like aramid fiber. Otherwise it could 
cause an injury if the lamp bursts.
Operate the lamp in the position indicated in the column of the 
burning position in this certificate. Otherwise it could cause 
overheating of the lamp house, lamp breakage or short lamp life.
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in 
an oxygen atmosphere (in air), except in the case of ozone-free lamps. 
If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.
Turn off the electrical power before installing, removing or cleaning 
the lamp house. Otherwise it could cause electrical shock.
During operation the lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful 
to the eyes and skin. Do not look directly or indirectly at the operating 
lamp. Otherwise it could cause eye aches or eyesight problems.
Do not directly or indirectly expose your skin to the lamp light. 
Otherwise it could cause inflammation of the skin.
